When flowers become trendy

As every year, the flagship gift for Mother's Day is the traditional bouquet of flowers. But instead of offering banal orchids or roses (we have nothing against these flowers but a little originality does not hurt), how about following the floral trends of the moment ?

The Dutch Office of Flowers gives every year, associations of flowers that make the trend. And for 2016, special mention for seasonal flowers . The peony, the hydrangea, the tulip or the buttercup have their places in our bouquets.

According to the Dutch Office of Flowers, 3 trends stand out for 2016.

More is more: we never do too much

For this spring / summer 2016 , we love the bucolic spirit . Summer flowers such as peony or tulip brighten interiors. We try to mix flowers and various colors to obtain a nice colorful result. This tendency emphasizes the accumulation: the flowers are thus deliberately mixed with plants or fruits to give a falsely disordered effect.

Reconsider space: rethinking everything from scratch

In a world in perpetual evolution, we sometimes want to go back to basics . In this trend, flowers evolve in a very graphic universe . Regular and geometric shapes are chosen in primary colors. Flowers such as sunflower, gerbera or amaryllis are perfect for this floral trend. The pot or vase is also graphic, creating a space.

Connect the story: get to the point

Every object has a story. The flowers also have one. This trend offers a selection of flowers with a history of their own and whose characteristics are very special. The compositions are clean , the flowers and foliage are natural. The freesia, gladiolus, hydrangea and lisianthus are perfect to offer a combination in harmony.
